The Game is available not only via normal retail outlets but also Steam. This alone means you are unlikely to ever get any realistic sales analysis from any one source other than the publisher which to date they have not published.
The only stats I can lay my hands on would be 231,000 players via the official stats pages. The beta game allowed you to link a player to an account. Whilst this is not necessarily a sales figure this number has grown by 30k over the last 2 months and as the standard ET game is still more popular than ETQW I still expect further growth as more are converted. ET series are reasonable complex games that require time and effort although this means a slower uptake it normally transfers into a loyal following with a slow conversion process.
These types of game mature and develop strong communities and this game looks no different with what looks like a good clan community. For this reason alone I would revise my estimate of lts to 30dkp believing that this game has already hit the 20dkp mark.
Oh and Gaara42 the use of the "We" was valid as this was based on what we (the community) know not on my opinion. We know that we have no solid sales figures, We know this game is available via Steam and I hope we know from experience that games of this type sell over longer periods of time as opposed to single player only game.
